About Me
italki teacher since Jul 16, 2021Me as a Teacher
I am a very patient and easy-going teacher. In my class mistakes are very welcomed because only through them, we can learn in life. I adapt my teaching to the student because everyone is unique, the learner has his own tempo and there are different types of learners like auditive, visual and kinesthetic ones. First, I want to know the student better, what he likes and then I will design the perfect lesson for him or her where boredom will be just an old memory.My lessons & teaching style
Grammar is important but it is not the goal of a lesson, the goal is that you can speak German, grammar must help you to master that. I work with “Redewendungen”, these are chunks that allow you to be fluent and speak like a native speaker. Learning grammar is a cognitive process, Redewendungen belong to a metacognitive process, I mean that you will learn to use them without thinking about them, it will happen automatically. All the aspects or learning a language are present in my class: reading, writing, hearing, speaking, pronunciation, melody in a sentence, intonation. You will decide what kind of lesson you are going to have, learning a language must be fun.My teaching material

Education
2020 - 2021
Bachelor’s - DLL (Deutsch Lehren Lernen)I have studied music (piano and composition) and I work as a composer writing music for movies, video games and theater plays. Languages were also my passion, I have been teaching German since many years and my students were always happy with my methods. I thought I just needed a title to look more qualified and that's why I worked hard to get this certificate give to me by the Goethe Institute, the most accredited institution for German language. Teaching is my job and passion.

Sono molto soddisfatto. Luca è stato paziente, ha una grande sensibilità linguistica. Attualmente sto pianificando di fare più lezioni di tedesco con lui a breve.
